Coventry and Warwickshire will once again see an afternoon much brighter and positive than the morning, as the temperature proves to be higher than it has been in recent days and weeks in the city.

Local weather experts at Bablake are saying that there is a great chance of the cloud breaking today, although they concede that it may take a while before we see any sunshine across the city and surrounding region.

It will be warmer than of late throughout the afternoon, managing to bring temperatures of around 19°C to Coventry and beyond.

There may be a brisk east-south-easterly breeze, but it should be pleasantly bright and dry with some prolonged spells of sunshine into this evening.

The Met Office, meanwhile, suggests that the cloudy start will gradually thin and break to allow some spells of sunshine to develop for many.

Tonight will see a fine, dry night, according to Bablake, with the Met Office confirming that there will be clear spells and a dry night for the region - though some mist patches will develop in rural places, with low cloud shrouding the hills.

An early outlook for Thursday suggests that tomorrow could be the best day for quite a while.
